Dish, Fox Announce Long-Term Carriage Agreement

DISH Network Corp DISH announced a multiyear carriage agreement Sunday with Fox Corporation FOXA FOX for its owned-and-operated local stations, as well as FS1, FS2, BTN, Fox Soccer Plus and Fox Deportes.

"We appreciate our customers' patience as we worked to reach a long-term agreement that restores the Fox networks and local broadcast stations," DISH said in a statement. 

DISH Network shares were trading up slightly at $33.10 at the tmie of publication. The stock has a 52-week high of $44.66 and a 52-week low of $23.22.

Fox shares were trading 0.84% higher at $30.74. The stock has a 52-week high of $41.73 and a 52-week low of $29.67.
